The Republican Party has viciously condemned any left leaning campus speech as hate speech. Now that younger Republicans have been exposed using REAL hate speech, JD Vance argues they should get a pass. One is a state legislator, others hold important party positions, these aren’t kids

Anyone who doesn’t agree with them is now on the far far left

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians.

Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.”

It’s a perception game and narrative control.

WATCH: “This is not a both sides thing. Let’s not lie about what’s happening.”

- Senator @ericschmittmo 🤥 , lying about what’s happening as @senatordurbin calls for toning down the rhetoric

(Again: Right-wing violence has been far more prevalent)

Section 2 of the 15th Amendment explicitly delegates to Congress the right to decide how to enforce Black voting rights. That's what the text says. And that's the original intent of the framers.

CUNY is the nation’s largest urban public university system and an engine of social mobility for the city's working class.

But like so many of our public institutions, Andrew Cuomo subject it to years of disinvestment and neglect as Governor. That record cannot be forgotten.

Cuomo’s controversial CUNY record resurfaces as affordability concerns dominate mayor’s race

Advocates, union leaders and lawmakers have criticized his previous push to cut state aid.

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
